Karen L. Tubbs

November 16, 1953 - June 9, 2019

Karen Louise Tubbs, born on November 16, 1953 in Applegate, Michigan, to Jacqueline Fye and the late OJ Tubbs, left us to be with the Lord at age 65 on June 9, 2019. She grew up between Michigan and Arkansas, graduated from Lansing County Community College with a business degree, and also attended Wayne State University for a social work degree. She was the ever-popular manager at Harbor Views Video in Lexington and even ran for public office, falling short by a mere hundred write-in votes. Karen was the beloved wife of Lisa Lepsy, with whom she spent the greater part of her life, 41 years; treasured mother of Aryn Alexandra (Michael) Beach; and doting grandmother of Violet Eleanora Beach. She is survived by her sister Patricia (Scott) Hanson, brothers, Mark (Jennifer) Fye, Brian Tubbs, and James (Brenda) Tubbs. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews; her greatly loved dog and lawn mower driver, Bella; and also a rather gnaw-ty kitty, ironically dubbed Grace. She was preceded in death by her brother, Bruce Tubbs. Her hobbies included reading voraciously, watching movies (naturally!), organic gardening, picking up after Bella, kidnapping Baby Violet, talking your ear off, requesting coffee, confounding medical professionals, and most of all, taking care of EVERYONE... except herself. She was a longtime member of the Croswell Wesleyan Church, and a faithful servant of Christ, with whom she now dwells. A celebration of her storied life will be held at Croswell Wesleyan Church on Thursday at 11 AM. Rev. Phil Count and Rev. Phil Seppo will officiate. Burial will be in the Washington Twp. Cemetery. Visitation will be from 2-8 PM Wednesday at the Pomeroy Funeral Home, Croswell, and 10-11 AM Thursday at church.
